Out of town
I will be leaving town for holiday for 2 weeks starting tomorrow. VoM and BPoM June will be announced when I get access to wifi. Happy cheering. =)
BPoM 3rd entry for June'11
The 3rd entry of BPOM June is by Denyse from Wildcards and tagged by Ochi for her post on how she managed her career and cheer. It was very well written and especially informative to cheerleaders who are currently trying to balance their work and cheer. Denyse shared her personal experiences with everyone and hope that it is of some help to those in similar scenario or to let some be more grateful of what they have at the moment.
A nice quote; "Nothing’s changed since then, except that when I work, I almost never have time for lunch, and that on training days, dinner is out of the question. It turns out that I need 32 hours a day if I did everything I need to do on a daily basis, and that is if I slept at 2am and woke up at 7am. "
The above is very true, cheerleading indeed demands a certain sacrifice, especially if you are in it to do well. A great cheerleader often is one who has a great character, great attitude and knows how to prioritise and sacrifice.

6th entry for June'11 VoM
We have the 6th entry, video posted by Jasmine and tagged by Ochi. The video shows Clement trying out as a flyer, doing a single based extension by Jen. Guys now you know it is not easy to stay locked high up in the air sometimes, appreciate your flyers every single time you stunt with them.
BPoM 2nd entry for June'11
2nd Blog Post of the Month is a post by Clement from Wildcards and tagged by Ken. This is Clements 1st blog post in Wildcards Blog and it talks about how he started his cheerleading journey. I believe most cheerleaders will always remember how they get started in cheerleading, the first person that inspired and motivated him/her in cheerleading.
And for Clement, this person that inspired him the most is non other than KEN LIM BAY HONG.
A short excerpt from Clement,
"Why I say that is because there was this one time he asked me "Do you want to cheer to win ?" I answered no because I was so used to losing in my life. After a pep talk by him, the winning attitude was drilled into me - it was a life changing moment. Physically, he forced me to gym and train the one major muscle group which I hate - my legs. If it weren't for him, I would never have trained my legs and be able to execute advanced stunts or have the strength to do it. Mentally, he trained me to have a stronger mind such that I won't collapsed under pressure and instead, convert all those stress into positive energy to improve myself in cheerleading. I have always aimed to do the things that he can do and lastly to be like him - to be in Wildcards, national champion team!"
Ken had managed to invoke a "life changing moment" in Clement; rid of his losing attitude and instil the winning mentality into him. In life, you don't have to change the entire world, but to be able to change just 1 live at a time is already a great blessing; it means alot to that person and you will never know how far the seed that you planted will grow, the potential is limitless.

5th entry for June'11 VoM
The 5th video entry for June VoM is by YQ from Denvers. The video is taken during 1 of YQ and BB's photo shoot for their wedding if I not wrong. Everyone was dress beautifully in matching colours for this. And as mentioned by YQ, this is probably the 1st time a group of cheerleaders had done something like this, doing a routine in gowns and jeans. Really like what you had been doing for your wedding; the website, the photo and video shoots. Glad that everyone is very happy.

BPoM 1st entry for June'11
The 1st entry of BPOM June is by Sky and Elizabeth, and tagged by Ochi. Titled "*♥Our Love Story♥*", a very sweet and touching post to read. Another pair of cheerleading couple in Singapore to be getting married, and I believe they are also 1 of the longest pair too, starting in 2001 (I wasn't even in cheer yet then). Though most of the post was about the 2 of them and nothing much about cheerleading, I feel that they are very good example and testament for all cheerleading couples out there; how they withstood the test of time and hardships
"This relationship may be nice and sweet just by reading it but there were a lot of barriers and obstacles that both of them went through and it is really not easy to maintain a relationship without communication and understanding with each other. They got closer and became more understanding and loving after every argument they had. Until now, after being together since 2001, their love for each other have become deeper and still on going..." - Sky and Elizabeth
